American should be familiar with the
life of Washington. The nobility of his
character, as displayed in the most try
ing circumstances, especially his unset
fish devotion to his country, has II
deared his name to countless human
hearts throughout the world. He is adj

cause he, with much enthusiasm, devot-

career to writing the life Of this illustri-
GUS patriot, soldier and statesman.
Washington could have no better biog-
rapher. OF American men of letters,
Irving was the first to win recognition
in European circles. His poetic refine
ment, his genial humor, his pure moral
tone, and the almost faultlcss finish of
his style give an abiding value to his
writings. And his best qualities come
to view in his Life of Washington. There

The "Reform" Hypocrit.

e~oos
The statistics of Offce-making made
public are those accepted by the organs
which, once champions of reform, have
sunk that character in the role of special
advocates of MI. Cleveland. They show
that $4,000 changes have been made in a
total of $1,000 fourth-class postmasters.
They show that about 1000 out of the
1850 presidential postmasters haye been
removed or found their terms expired.
And, save in n or two prominent cases,
like that of Pearson, there have been
scarcely any reappointments, while the
new appointees are solidly Democratic.
Ofthe collectors of internal revenue, an
Office which it seems absurd to me
with politics, every one we believe,
is now a Democrat. And the last terri
torial officials remaining from a Repub-
lican administration are about to be re-
moved, in the persons of the judicial
officers who have carried ON the war
against pologamy in Utah. If this clean
sweep had been made OH the ground of
party necessity, if it had been justified
in any way, though the people might
have protested against the o~verturning
of reform, they could not have chal-
lenged the administration with dishon-
esty. But it is tho coupling of ultra-par-
tisanship and the EXTREMIST surrender
to the spoils doctrine with all ostenta-
tious bowling of the knee at tho shrine of
reform which rouses disgust more than
indignation. There is a scorn ever
deeper than that directed against the
use of political office for party rewards;
and it is reserved for those who play the
hypocrit with reform.

ever more serious. But the strangest
part of it all is that the young ladies
afterwards walked to the lower exit of
the building with the guides, and never
saw a single policeman to whom they
could complain. 1t is rather apoor story
and not one calculated to evoke either
compassion or immediate credence. 1t
is possible that the naughty guides did
as charged but as they are all reputable
gentlemen, making their living by being
honest, honorable and reliable, it is not
likely that they did any kissing while
on duty, unless directly or indirectly
invited to do so. That is the general
opinion of those who understand such
matters; and it is a judgment which
will be found to be nearly right. "Of
course said n of the guides, "it is
possible that the kissing was done. No
n could vouch for the best man who
has lived since Joseph ran away from
Mrs. Pothipar: but if the demonstra-
tom of affection were made, it is safe to
say" that the young ladies did or said
something to- suggest to the guides that
they were expected to show them how
kissing under the dome would be. In
such an event probably the Oldest and
coolest guide in the world would try to
accommodate" That tells the whole story,
